What we know is that one B748 is currently being repainted in Rome to reflect the new colour scheme. And an A350 (not yet delivered by Airbus) will enter service in late April / early May already bearing the new colours.

Exact launch date is not yet confirmed. Some people are saying the date will be February 12 while others declare it’s February 7.

It could be that the new design will be announced simultaneously in Frankfurt and Munich which, as readers will know, are Lufthansa’s twin hubs.

I am shocked about this. In my opinion the yellow belongs to Lufthansa’s uniforms, the planes and corporate design in general. The new design makes the aircraft looking boring and cheaper!!! I guess LH simply likes to save a lot of money in the long term by cancelling the yellow from their order lists for aircraft painting and printer toners.
